LeVert is good to go after being considered probable with a sore left foot. He’ll provide additional perimeter depth off the bench, but the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball aren’t likely to be available.

Ivey will make his second appearance of the season on Monday. After logging 14 minutes in his debut on Saturday, the Pistons guard will likely take on a similar workload against the Pacers. Due to the minutes restriction, Ivey is not a must-roster player at this point.

LeVert is dealing with a sore left foot, but the probable tag suggests he will be available to provide depth off the bench. He has not had a significant impact on fantasy basketball this season, and that will remain the case with Jaden Ivey back in action. There isn’t much to be gained from rostering LeVert in most leagues.

Ivey made his season debut on Saturday, playing 14 minutes off the bench in a win over the Bucks. Fantasy managers should expect a similar approach on Monday, as Ivey had not appeared in a game since New Year’s Day due to a fractured fibula.

With the Pistons adding Tobias Harris and Jaden Ivey to the mix on Saturday, Duren missed out on a few minutes despite not sharing a position with either of those two. He played 27 minutes against the Bucks, two fewer than his tally in each of the prior two games and his season average. However, Duren still provided solid statistical value, so fantasy managers have nothing to worry about. With Isaiah Stewart playing more of his minutes at the five, Paul Reed (two points and one rebound) only played five minutes on Saturday. There’s no need to hold onto Reed with the Pistons this close to whole.

For the first time since suffering a fractured fibula on New Year’s Day, Ivey was playing in an official NBA game. While he was not inserted into the starting lineup immediately, as Tobias Harris (ankle) was, that was unsurprising given the time missed. Ivey played 14 minutes and was relatively effective in those moments, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and hitting double figures. His return impacts Daniss Jenkins (7/1/3/1 with one three-pointer) more than any other Pistons guard, with the second-year guard playing 13 minutes. While the Pistons do end Week 6 with a back-to-back, Ivey’s return makes Jenkins surplus to requirements in most fantasy leagues.

Saturday’s game was the first for Harris in three weeks, and he was inserted into the starting lineup immediately. The veteran forward looked relatively sharp, with the time off and the game being a blowout likely factoring into his playing time. Isaiah Stewart, who started at the four in Harris’s absence, played 23 minutes off the bench, finishing with seven points, two rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one three-pointer. Beef Stew can still provide tangible fantasy value, but his ceiling is a lot lower with Harris in the lineup.

The Pistons entered Saturday’s game having lost their last 13 meeting with the Bucks, and ending that streak was a point of emphasis for Cunningham and company. They got the job done, and the point guard led the way to extend Detroit’s win streak to 12. He was highly efficient, shooting over 50 percent from the field and finishing two rebounds shy of a triple-double. Cunningham and the Pistons play four games during Week 6, starting with the Pacers on Monday.

Saturday’s game will be the first for Harris since November 1, when he sprained his ankle during a win over the Mavericks. Isaiah Stewart has filled in admirably at the power forward position, but he’s headed to the bench. Harris’ return also impacts Paul Reed, who may fall out of the rotation entirely. Joining Harris in the starting lineup are Cade Cunningham, Duncan Robinson, Ausar Thompson and Jalen Duren.

Ivey, who hasn’t appeared in a game since New Year’s Day, will be available for Saturday’s game. Given the time missed, his minutes will likely be limited. Slotting Ivey into fantasy lineups immediately isn’t necessary, but he’ll be a valuable perimeter option once the Pistons sort out what is now a crowded rotation.

The Pacers fell to 2-14 with the loss to the Cavaliers on Friday, but it’s been no fault of Siakam. The 31-year-old power forward has been a consistent and excellent presence in the Pacers’ lineup. He’ll continue to see additional usage until the Pacers start getting some players back.

This was Nembhard’s first 30-point effort of the season. The 25-year-old shooting guard had scored at least 20 points in four of his last seven games entering play Friday. Nembhard continues to produce since returning from a hip injury. He should continue to see significant usage while the Pacers deal with other injuries.

Ivey missed the first 15 games of the season after having surgery on his right knee. The 23-year-old shooting guard doesn’t have a set return date and only began on-court work last week, but being listed on the injury report as questionable certainly represents progress in his recovery. Even if he is active on Saturday, Ivey would likely be on a minutes limit.

Sidelined since November 1, Harris is questionable for Saturday’s game. However, he was also questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Hawks but did not play. If he can play against the Bucks, Harris’ availability affects Isaiah Stewart, who has been filling in as the starting power forward. Regardless of what happens, fantasy managers should continue to roster Stewart in deeper leagues and some 12-team formats as well.

Huff’s play and minutes aren’t consistent enough, but the 28-year-old center certainly could be an interesting fantasy asset if anything changes. He has the ability to fill up the stat sheet as he did Wednesday with 20 points, five rebounds, four assists, three blocks and four three-pointers. That’s the kind of varied skillset fantasy managers covet. Huff’s 27 minutes played against the Hornets were a season-high and he’s worth rostering in case that level of regular playing time becomes a trend.

Siakam was hardly efficient with 22 points on 17 shots, but he led the Pacers with +25 in 37 minutes of the nine-point win over the Hornets as the team improved to 2-13. Siakam has been a bright spot in the nightmare start the Pacers have had to the season. While he not only provided 22 points, he dished out seven assists and had a block and a steal. Siakam showed once again this year that he’s not going down without a fight.

Mathurin returned from a toe injury on Monday against the Pistons and had 25 points in 25 minutes while on a minutes restriction. The 23-year-old small forward scored 24 points in 34 minutes against the Hornets on Wednesday, signaling that he can handle more minutes. It’s just two games, but Mathurin has scored 49 points and grabbed 15 rebounds already this week. After averaging 16.1 points and 5.3 rebounds last year, he could be in for a breakout season.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle made just one change to his starting lineup, replacing Jarace Walker with Sheppard. While he does not offer the same offensive ceiling, Sheppard is a solid defender who can be helpful in this matchup. Walker will remain in the rotation, but his inefficient offense has been problematic for fantasy managers.

Cunningham returned after missing Detroit’s last three games, and he made his presence felt immediately. With the Pistons leading by just two points with 90 seconds left, Cade hit back-to-back tough shots to extend the lead and secure the win, which was their 11th in a row. His shooting percentage is down, but he is averaging career-highs in points, assists and steals per game this season. It has been a team effort to sit atop the Eastern Conference early on, but when the game comes down to the wire, it’s clear it’s Cunningham’s team.

Both Cade Cunningham (hip) and Ausar Thompson (ankle) returned for this game, but Jenkins remained a starter. He has played really well and certainly earned it, but Thompson returning from a four-game absence was also a factor. Jenkins should still be part of the rotation, but it is unlikely that he remains in the starting unit, much longer, especially with Jaden Ivey (knee) getting closer to a return.

Duren’s double-double streak came to an end, but he was still able to make a big impact as a scorer, as he has all month. In November, he has scored at least 20 points in six of his eight appearances, with three 30-point performances included. He’s averaging career-highs in points and rebounds, which has led to a dominant fantasy season from him to this point.

Cunningham is back in the Pistons’ lineup after missing three games with a hip injury. However, his return will not push Jenkins to the bench.

Green continues to benefit from the Pistons still missing multiple starters. The 32-year-old shooting guard played 27 minutes off the bench against the Pacers on Monday and scored 20 points.

He has the look of a player that’s earned a standard contract and will stick around even when the Pistons get healthy.

Siakam was one of the few bright spots for Indiana in this one as they fell to 1-12 overall to open the season. It’s officially the worst start to a season in franchise history. Not only are they without franchise cornerstone Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles), but they’re also without Aaron Nesmith (knee), Obi Topin (foot) and Bennedict Mathurin (toe) right now. The 31-year-old forward has picked up the slack from a scoring perspective recently, averaging 25 points over his last three games. The injury-ravaged Pacers will attempt to turn things around next week when they face the Pistons, Hornets and Cavaliers.

Nembhard got off to a sizzling-hot start with Aaron Nemsmith (knee) out of the lineup, pouring in 11 points in the opening stanza on 4-of-5 shooting, including a trio of three pointers. He cooled off in the second quarter, finishing with just two points and was limited to just nine more during the entire second half. He and teammate Pascal Siakam were the lone Pacers in double figures as they struggled to put up points due to an avalanche of injuries to key contributors. It’s a tough development for Indiana, but the lack of additional scoring threats should lead to more opportunities for Nembhard in the coming weeks.

Given the amount of time McConnell missed with a strained right hamstring, it’s unsurprising that he was on a minutes restriction Tuesday night. However, he only played 11 minutes and did not see any action after halftime.

Siakam’s return from a one-game absence did not keep the Pacers from giving up 152 points on Tuesday, but he did provide fantasy managers with another solid stat line. Thus far, Spicy P is ranked outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats, providing greater value in the former. His usage has jumped by more than six percentage points from last season, but the Pacers’ lack of proven scorers has negatively impacted Siakam’s value. On a better version of this team, he would be an enticing “buy low” option. However, with Indiana now 1-10, managers who have Siakam rostered may be concerned about a potential late-season tank.
